I've been grilling chicken breast for many years,
and they've never turned as tender & juicy as these!
I finally found a recipe for juicy and tender boneless skinless chicken breast. I made the brined chicken tonight for dinner and grilled it on my indoor smokeless grill. I did have to cook the chicken a few minutes longer on each side then the recipe called for but it was delicious.
I feel like I've found the secret to the universe! My grilled chicken breasts were never this juicy and tender so thank you so much for this recipe! I was searching for a recipe to make for a friend who is ill and has a very limited diet. This turned out perfect and my family loved it also.
Good recipe. I followed it precisely, except for using 8” cast iron frying pan instead of rolling pin. That’s a better, faster flattener. Thanks!
I have tried many things to get TENDER grilled chicken breasts but this works every time. I sprinkle a bit more spices over the meat before grilling just to amp up the flavour. I know my S-I-L rinses off the brine before grilling to cut down on the salt content but it's not a problem for me. Thanks so much for posting especially with the grilling instructions (temp/time).
You know it's a winner when you post a recipe in 2015 and in 2020, the comments are still rolling in! Linda, Linda, Linda! You have revolutionized our grill! First time EVER to have delicious, juicy chicken breasts right off the grill, all thanks to you. My guys couldn't believe how amazing they were. A brine - who knew?! I found you today on Pinterest and looking forward to checking out all your other recipes. Thanks, Linda! You made my day!
AhAhh thanks so much for the tips. . I feel really confident grilling beef, but chicken breasts always turn out dry and unflavorful.
Yes! Brined is the way to go! And I love that your brine doesn't have sugar. Can't wait to try this when I get my grill out.
Did you make this recipe?
